After escaping from my abusive ex-narc, I amped my boundaries and really, truly learned to love myself and be happy alone.

Ugh. Both items you shared literally pinned down me and my ex-husband. 😖

Thankful I was able to get out but the residual effects of that relationship linger.

I met my ex-narc post divorce and I’m 43. Bottom line, this can happen to anybody at anytime especially when you’re vulnerable and in love with the idea of love. At least we recognize the signs now!

I have a hard time getting over him actually, any articles that will help? My therapist says he is a narc but even after break up he reached out to me and when I reached out he just lashed and gave a list of 20 things I was bad at and asked me to tell him what have I given him in 3 years and what is he getting out of this relationship and why should he bother to stay in it?

Hey D3, all the articles will say absolutely “No Contact”. Change your number and emails if you have to. Getting over these relationships is like getting over drugs. Protect yourself and go cold turkey. Enjoy the things you like to do and spend time with people who genuinely love you. Check out the article I posted on 100 things to boost your self esteem.

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness.

I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well
